MMUless systems have only one address space for all threads, so
both the usual access_ok() checks, and the exception handling do
not make much sense.
Hence, discard the fixup and exception tables at link time, use
memcpy/memset for the user copy/clearing functions, and define
the permission check macros to be constants.
Some of this patch was derived from the equivalent patch by
Hyok S. Choi.

Back in the days when we had armo (26-bit) and armv (32-bit) combined,
we had an additional layer to the uaccess macros to ensure correct
typing. Since we no longer have 26-bit in this tree, we no longer
need this layer, so eliminate it.

Unfortunately, later gcc versions error out when our get_user is passed
a const pointer, since we write to a temporary variable declared as
typeof(*(p)) which propagates the const-ness.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
